First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tested whether adding short instructional videos to traditional teaching helps first-year nursing students learn how to care for central venous catheters (CVCs). Sixty-six students were randomly assigned to either video-assisted or traditional instruction. Researchers measured their practical skills, anxiety levels, and satisfaction with the training. The goal was to see if videos improve learning and reduce stress.
